“I Seemed Doomed To Always Play Supporting Roles In Someone Else’s Story. Far Too Many Times I Had

I can’t tell if the stain on my hands is paint or blood and honestly that’s very in character for me

So I watched Chaos Walking last night. I am so angry.

Liepke is one of my favourite artists. If you have the means, please look at his other work. It is nothing short of admirable.

If you need instrumental dark academia playlists to study with for finals, these are some spotify playlists I made that might help you out the way they helped me

Minimal atmospheric piano that doesn’t sound like it’s taken straight from an alexa commercial. Really minimal, melancholy. 

Violin y cello instrumentals for studying and reading: includes soundtracks and some classical music opus.

Minecraft-like ambient exploration suites: soft, creative instrumental ambient sounds

Opera and choral music: if you’d seriously like to feel like you’re studying at a gothic library, then this playlist’s the one for you. Eco chamber-like

Instrumental soft jazz: really soft jams, some of the BGM chanel. Slow ballads to read to.

*Classical music: Background classical piano, violin and orchestal pieces from recognized classical composers for studying the old fashioned way.

Open to suggestions or feedback, I hope these help you out! Push it through!

Last night, I ran through the forest as the rain poured down from above me, without a shoe or a care, dressed in flowing green satin.

If that doesn’t scream main character energy idk what does.

If y’all wanna know the true power of hate, just remember that Alan Turing, the breaker of the enigma code in WWII, was driven to suicide by being forced to undergo chemical castration as a punishment for his homosexuality.

Historians say he saved 14 to 21 million lives.

I’d also like to say in the time we studied WWII in school, the history textbooks never mentioned him. I had never heard of the guy until I watched “The Imitation Game” which I 110% recommend you watch if you haven’t.Alan Turing was a blessing to humanity who saved (once again) 14 to 21 million lives, and he is left out of history because he was gay.

And this is just one example?? So many brilliant and heroic people are left out of history because of their race, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, and it’s just because some bigots in positions of influence get to decide what parts of history are remembered.
